Arrow IC185 ~ Bugaloo {06-20-09}

Inspiration Challenge 185 ~ Bugaloo

Bugaloo features baby shoes that are just too cute … and not only are they a fabulous source of inspiration; they’re also trendy, fun, and affordable.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I have uploaded three of my favorite shoes … so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration.

For the rest of you, feel free to use anything from the Bugaloo website for your inspiration. Just remember to link us to the shoes that inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC185 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Bugaloo Bluebird

IC185 Gallery


How to Play ~ View the attached images. You may be inspired to recreate the pieces ~ but that isn't necessary ... get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild ~ be *inspired* and go get stamping!

Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Also, remember to link to your SCS gallery on this thread. Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.

Ah, these are just like Robeez! These are the best shoes for beginning walkers, in my humble opinion. Now, on to be inspired...

Looks like fun. My internet was down for a few hours this evening and I'm too tired to do anything now, so I will have to try in the morning. Thanks, Stef.

My goodness, the card I just uploaded is perfect for that first shoe - blue bird, brown branch, music notes...
Psalm 90:1.
But I'll try to make another one especially for the challenge, since the card was made before I saw it .
Thanks, Stef.

Default Her is my card for this week's challenge...

well my first one anyway! Thanks again Stephanie for another fine challenge. I used this sweet little pair of shoe-ies with the owl face as inspiration among other reasons you can read in my description:

The shoe-ies:

Whoo shoes

and here is my card:

BUGALOO OWL WITH INTERNATIONAL FLAIR

Thanks for looking and enjoy.
